Cost of rechargeable vs. non-rechargeable nerve stimulators for bladder issues
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares the costs of two types of sacral nerve stimulators (one that can be recharged and one that cannot) for people with bladder problems caused by nerve damage. It may help you understand if one option is more affordable or better for your situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bladder problem caused by nerve damage that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
- You have blocked urine flow (obstructive urinary retention) or a reason you can't get a sacral nerve stimulator.
- You are male or female.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares how well sacral nerve stimulation works on each side of the body for people with neurogenic bladder (bladder problems from nerve damage). The goal is to see if testing one side first can predict success for the other side.
This trial tests if sacral nerve modulation can improve bladder and bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. Patients receive a temporary stimulator first, and if it helps, they may get a permanent implant.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
